The "UNOFFICIAL" Helios FAQ thread....

@Bluzrif - This is for a programming cable so that:
1. you can configure your profiles (1-10)
2. update your software as updates become available
3. It is not the same cable as the Bafang...

Hope that helps!

Bafang Ultra Programing Cable

The default programming / profile is great for almost everyone. The primary reason riders buy the cable is to get regular firmware upgrades! In 2020 there have been 4 firmware updates rolled out. Most are for new features and optimizations, some for new assist curves, and one for revised UI. A...

Yep thanks.

Probably after the first one (for a customer) is built.

I’m having a hard time believing that there’s not one or two on the road right now... Hard to believe the first Helios built will be delivered to a customer ... Pushkar is a testing maniac and Ill bet ( and hope) that testing has been going on a while ... If my issue was production I sure wouldn’t publicize my IP with a picture..

And in re reading your answer Deacon Blues I think that’s exactly what you said. ( brevity is a beautiful thing)

I believe he's test riding something, but it might be a Hydra.

They were test riding the Hydra frame months ago. Although there are future iterations of the Hydra that are probably being tested.

Maybe we should go to the source @pushkar, are are you test riding?

I’m thinking he may not be doing much riding and is currently doing a lot of building

Big pool of people out there who will ride your stuff in an effort to break it

July 1 2020 - a month after the initial Beta Founders group - doh!

Could someone comment on the changes in the options from back then.
A lot of us have paid for specific options that may no longer be available
or a new upgrade could be added

thanks

Does anybody know if the Helios will accommodate the Schwalbe supermoto X tires in the 2.8” size. With the largest 60t chain wheel and the Kindernay per Pushkar the bike is extremely fast. I think Pushkar said he had it to 35 miles an hour and wasn’t even in the fastest gear or highest level. With that kind of speed available I am wondering if the wider tires would be a good choice for. Stability etc. At speed. Any comments would be helpful....Thanks

Probably waiting on stock of the Supermoto's.
